Flying Swords of Dragon Gate Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Flying Swords has style to burn but a story that's both too chaotic for its own good and at times overly familiar.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This treatment boasts plenty of swashbuckling action and visual flair without a compelling story or characters to fill in the narrative gaps.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
For followers of wuxia films, the epic Flying Swords of Dragon Gate is a godsend...But the convoluted storyline...blunts the appeal for anyone who's not a fan.
Paste Magazine
Jay Antani
While the technology is a dampener and the plotting burdensome, Flying Swords has enough charm and pizzazz to merit a good time at the movies.

The toys of 3D and Imax give martial-arts master Tsui Hark license to go berserk for two hours with flying things and non-stop action
Boston Herald
James Verniere
Among the standouts in the cast beyond the legendary Li is Lunmei Kwai as a Tartan warrior princess.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The plot is secondary. "Flying Swords" is to be seen for its eye-popping action.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
Tsui Hark takes Hollywood dead on with a bold, special effects laden, kung fu epic.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Flying Swords" is a chunky spectacle, to be sure - overstuffed with plot and characters - but at times, it's an insanely entertaining one.
Nerdist
Luke Y. Thompson
Bottom line: this movie ain't a relationship, folks. It's a one-night stand, and as such, could probably have been more concise. But you won't forget it in the morning; just the boring bits.
New York Times
Mike Hale
While the attractive performers and the action set pieces, including fights inside a sand tornado and around a spider's web of razor wire, are enough to carry you through the film, "Flying Swords" is a bit of a letdown ...
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
IMAX 3D turns a slightly above-average "wuxia" ("martial hero" action thriller) into an epic extravaganza.
NPR
Stephanie Zacharek
The trick is to let yourself swoon into the picture's visual embrace and not get too hung up on its myriad sticky plot points.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
At least it's all a feast for the eyes.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Soldiers and rebels battle over a lost city's treasure in a giddy, unhinged updating of a martial-arts cult favorite.
Boxoffice Magazine
David Ehrlich
A rare treat for anyone who's ever wondered what a martial arts epic might look like through the eyes of someone suffering from severe glaucoma.
Village Voice
Simon Abrams
Flying Swords might not live up to the promise of Detective Dee, Hark's recent comeback, but it does deliver frequently and always when it counts most.
Boston Phoenix
Peter Keough
Swords aren't the only things flying in Tsui Hark's splendidly absurd wuxia - the first Chinese martial-arts film in 3D.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Tsui Hark's film is the veteran director's chance to let his imagination run riot in the context of a high-budget, 3D IMAX production.
Variety
Richard Kuipers
The 3D is terrific in Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, but helmer Tsui Hark's costume actioner -- the first Chinese-lingo movie shown in the stereoscopic Imax format -- is let down by two-dimensional characters.
